The Internship

As I recall, I watched this film originally at the cinema, as an Unlimited showing. But I just watched it again with my sister.

Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are both actors I know pretty well and have quite enjoyed them in comedy films before. In this film, they had really great chemistry, both together and when interacting with the other characters in this film.

It was really good to see the contrast between the two older salesmen and the rest of the younger interns. Billy and Nick’s lack of internet knowledge made for some really nice comedy moments. But they were also extremely earnest people… and as much as their original interview was amusing, the fact that they were able to think so much out of the box was really cool.

There were quite a few actors I recognised in this film and I felt that they played the characters to the extent that suspension of disbelief was easy. There were quite a few, ‘Aww’ moments in this film.

It was really good to see the way Billy and Nick attempted to fit in and the way they clashed at first with the rest of the team at first, while gradually forming friendships with the others and all of them learning to work together as a team.

There were a lot of cliched moments in this film, but it was still an entertaining, sweet movie. I really enjoyed watching it and if you want something that’s funny because of the characters and their personalities, rather than just rude humour, I would recommend this one as a film to watch.
